12TDT

Year 12 Digital Technology

Course Description

In this course students will further develop and apply their computational thinking as well as their digital planning, design and development skills. Achievement standards for this course are centred around computing science, databases, electronics and programming. 

Using a variety of modern digital tools, students will work through the technological process. This will include iterative design and problem solving, integration of digital media and information, plus research, testing, production, evaluation and maintenance. Students will explore and create different original outcomes including a database sourced website and computer program. Electronics using the Arduino platform will also be covered, creating an autonomous vehicle for the project. 

We ask that a contribution of $50 is made to cover the take-home component of food for students selecting this course.

It is intended to lead into Digital Technologies Level 3 and will be beneficial for future training in Computer Science and IT related industries, whilst the problem-solving skills and technological skills gained will help prepare students for the increasingly diverse technologies of our future.
